The final battle against the World Government in One Piece will present a formidable challenge for Zoro, particularly against Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro. This confrontation between the two characters has been long anticipated in the storyline, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what Oda has in store.
Zoro to Face V. Nusjuro, the Strongest Swordmaster in One Piece
Currently, the ultimate rival of Zoro in One Piece is not Mihawk, but rather Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro. These two characters have crossed paths during the Egghead arc of One Piece. As it stands, fans can clearly see that Oda is gearing up for a significant duel between them in the future.

Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro is a formidable figure in the World Government and holds the title of Financial War Hero. He is depicted as a serious individual, always wielding a sword. Nusjuro is inspired by the Yokai known as Bakotsu, a ghostly creature from Japanese folklore.

The imposing figure of Nusjuro is set to make a striking entrance, especially as he effortlessly neutralized all Pacifista Mark III on Egghead Island, demonstrating his overwhelming power. His swordsmanship is at a level where he can easily contend with Zoro, a swordsman who has been honing his skills for years.
As we have seen, Nusjuro possesses a fierce determination and is strategically adept, even countering Joy Boy’s high-level Haki with ease – a feat that could pose a great threat to Zoro once they clash in battle.
With the latest arc unfolding, fans are starting to witness Zoro grow stronger. Alongside his allies, he is getting closer to the point where he will face incredibly dangerous foes to realize his dreams.

Nusjuro Will Wield Shodai Kitetsu, the Most Dangerous Sword in One Piece
At the same time, Zoro will be wielding Sandai Kitetsu, another cursed sword that is notorious for its danger. These two swords will clash in battle, and more importantly, Zoro will have to face Nusjuro, who is considered one of the strongest swordmasters of all time.
While Zoro has already established himself as a formidable swordsman in One Piece, Nusjuro will represent a significant challenge that goes beyond what he has faced before. In this impending duel, fans may witness the full extent of Zoro’s strength.
The story of One Piece is currently set in Elbaf, which provides a backdrop for Zoro to grow even stronger as he prepares for the final showdown of his journey. We can only sit back and await Zoro’s ascension to the next level of power as One Piece progresses towards its conclusion.
